As we all know the last few years there\'s been a vast influx of trollers on Bootleggers. These trollers have been lessening the quality of our beloved forums, diminishing the amount of nice and sociable people on the forums and scaring new players away, resulting in an overall diminishing gameplay experience.
Here\'s a quote to prove my point:
Maybe you like it. I don\'t. I come here to have fun and to meet new people. Maybe this is not the right place because the amount of people that try to prevent me from having fun is too high.

Something has to be done about this. First thing I thought about was making trolling a bannable offense, resulting in getting all trollers banned and making Bootleggers troller-free. But maybe this would be too much of a drastic measure. Also spotting a troller isn\'t always easy and this measure might result in a lot of innocent people getting banned. You know, some people saying idiotic things aren\'t trollers, they might actually just be real idiots. Althought this is debatable, I don\'t think idiocy should be a bannable offense.
So instead of making trolling a bannable offense, I think the best option to deal with the problems of trollers would be the following:
Everyone who thinks he has spotted a troller should report it to the help desk under a new category \"Report Troller\". The game would need a squad of new staff members, experts on trollers, to investigate each case individually to determine whether it\'s a real troller or not.
If there is consensus among the experts, the reported person should receive an official status of \"troller\". These trollers should then be made visible on the users online page in a pink colour, also their name should show up in pink on the forums. That way everyone knows when a troller entered a thread so everyone can ignore him or simply make fun of his name in a gay colour, which will hopefully eventually lead to all trollers leaving Bootleggers.
